Rationale: Anlotinib, a novel orally administered multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and growth, significantly prolonged overall survival, and progression-free survival with a manageable safety profile as a third-line therapy among refractory advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in ALTER 0303 trail (NCT02388919).
Patient Concerns: Two squamous cell lung cancer patients with mediastinal metastasis undergoing the treatment of anlotinib developed clinical symptom of cough, which was worse upon ingestion.
Diagnoses: On the basis of patients' clinical symptoms and radiographic findings, they were diagnosed with acquired esophago-tracheobronchial fistula.

Introduction: Acquired benign esophageal tracheobronchial fistulae are clinically rare. In this paper, we summarize our experiences in surgical treatment of 14 consecutive patients with acquired benign esophageal tracheobronchial fistula.
Methods: This series included patients who underwent surgery between January 2002 and June 2015 at our institution.
A supposed primary and cortico-sensitive pleuropericarditis in a 33-year-old woman with an apparent recovery of 9 months, revealed an esophageal leiomyosarcoma with a fatal issue following tumoral and purulent invasion of the mediastinum with an esophagobronchial fistula. Pericardis of tumoral origin may appear as a benign cryptogenetic affection sensitive to corticotherapy. Acquired esophagotracheobronchial fistulae are usually of neoplastic origin and the prognosis is extremely severe, survival being rarely more than three months.
